Risk IT

The Aim:

The aim of the game is to keep a group of people healthy by minimising the risk they take in life. You need to protect the group from both immediate and future harm from the activities they take part in today.

How to Play:

1. First you need to judge from the list which activity you think gives the greatest risk. By identifying the highest risk first, you will protect the largest number of people.

2. Assign the risk to the activity you just chose (the first one will be high) and the game will work out the consequences for your population based on the actual risk.

3. Go back to the menu (by clicking on "Finish Activity") and proceed with the next most risky activity.

4. Gradually work your way through the list.

5. If you are unsure how to rank a risk you can click on AIDEM. He will give you some information about the risk but, BEWARE, he gives two opposing views based on newspaper articles. You must decide which is more accurate!

Remember you need to decide first what is the most risky activity from the list, then go to the next most risky and so on.

Underestimating a risk will mean that people will continue to take the risk, and this will affect the overall health of the group. Equally, if you overestimate a risk it could also be harmful, because it would encourage people to give up doing things that have little risk and engage in more risky activities...
